Yes, we’re sweating bullets here in Florida right now because it’s summer, so, of COURSE, we’re dreaming of the holidays, when things are a little cooler and there’s holiday magic in the air.

That means we’re thinking ahead to things like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, but we’re also looking forward to Jollywood Nights, a holiday event in Disney’s Hollywood Studios that premiered last year. We had the opportunity to attend Jollywood Nights in 2023, and we think the party has a LOT of potential. The entertainment was top-notch, and now we have a clue as to what kind of entertainment to expect in 2024.
We often check the Disney auditions notices because they usually offer a good clue as to what kind of entertainment we’ll be seeing in the future in Disney Parks. A NEW audition notice was posted recently for Seasonal Dancers for Jollywood Nights.

Here’s what makes this notice so exciting, though: the audition notice is about an “all-new stage show rooted in the glitz and glamor of vintage Hollywood television specials, with a contemporary twist of Disney holiday magic.” It’s set to take place at Theatre of the Stars. Special guests will include Kermit and Miss Piggy, but there will also be appearances by Tiana, Belle, Minnie Mouse, and Mickey Mouse. They’ll be joined by a cast of singers, dancers, and live jazz musicians.
Jollywood Nights
So we’re not sure this show is all-new because we watched a show fitting this description at Jollywood Nights last year (and it was the BEST SHOW EVER). So we’re not sure if the show from last year got re-tooled, but we DO know a show will be happening at Theatre of the Stars again during the party.
It’s Kermit and Miss Piggy!
Disney has not yet revealed any other details about holiday happenings this year, including Jollywood Nights, but it looks like Disney World is already preparing for the holiday season. We’re looking forward to seeing what Disney World has in store for the holiday season of 2024, which also includes EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays. We’ll be keeping an eye out for more news about the holidays in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

I hope they have snacks this year. Last year, no ice cream, drinks, and popcorn. They have it at Studios after hours this summer–maybe they will carry it on to Christmas.
